Coffee & Catholics: A Catholic Women's Talk Show Podcast coffeeandcatholics

Welcome to our 100th Episode!
In this episode Lauren, Alisha, and Stacy discuss the state of the church today. We ask a big question; Is the Church in a state of crisis or in the process of being pruned? We don't claim to have the answers but we do share our stories and what is on our hearts. Come listen and share with us your thoughts.
